    We’ve eaten at Calhoun’s many times over the years in Gatlinburg but never been to the pigeon forge location. Always been a good experience, never had a bad meal. I’ve been going there something like 25 years now. Almost all bbq is good and different restaurants have different flavors.

    We ate at the Calhouns in Gatlinburg and we were disappointed. We did not know the history of them winning a championship rib cook off so we did not understand why they claimed to have the best ribs in America. In our experience they are no where near close to having the best ribs in America today.
    Back to your review it was spot on. No one wants to give a review that sounds negative but it is a real thing.
    Thank you for your honesty.

    My banana pudding has a shortbread crust. It's flour, butter and coconut, crumbled that goes on the bottom, a little in the middle and sprinkled on top. Now I have the idea of adding some macadamia nuts to it.
    The one you two are eating looks amazing and very similar to mine.😊

    I absolutely love a sweet potato, they are so delicious. Everyone in my family loves them too, with the exception of my brother. Brooks he hates them I believe as much as you do. Most of us have at least a couple of things we really don't care for, my main ones are water chestnuts, and parsnips. 😊
